Heart Center
   
Béla Merkely, MD, PhD, DSc
    The research activity of the Heart Center is focused on diagnosis and therapy of ischemic heart diseases and cardiac arrhythmias. Its aim of the research unit is the effective use of resources – both governmental and other research grants – in order (I) to improve understanding of pathomechanisms of ischemic heart diseases, (II) to introduce new approaches in cardiovascular revascularization therapy, (III) to adopt the latest methods of acute cardiac care, (IV) to optimize management of heart transplantation patients, (V) to improve understanding of electrophysiological backgrounds of cardiac arrhythmias, (VI) to investigate new techniques and equipments especially in the field of non-pharmacological therapy of cardiac arrhythmias, (VII) to train researchers – postgraduate students as well as qualified clinicians – in broad areas of cardiovascular sciences. Clinical research is supported by an Experimental Research Laboratory which work is focused on the investigation of (VIII) autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system, (IX) changes in humoral and metabolic regulatory processes in different cardiovascular diseases, (X) effects and local interactions of endogenous cardioactive agents, (XI) techniques of coronary venous interventions, (XII) new approaches of intraoperative cardioprotection, (XIII) non-invasive monitoring of myocardial blood supply by intraoperative cardiothermography, (XIV) molecular processes during increased cardiac load, and (XV) myocardial dysfunction and tissue damage of transplanted heart. The Heart Center is qualified to organize, fulfill and maintain postgraduate (PhD) programs.
